I don't really know how to start this post except to say that I think I'm going to abstain from blogging for a while. I just feel like...sometimes we put all of ourselves on display for everyone to see (not that everyone sees this blog. In fact, most people don't. The point is, I'm putting it out into cyberspace where literally anyone could see it and draw an opinion about me.) and we forget about who we really are. I know I haven't been blogging a lot lately, but I'm not only referring to blogging. I'm referring to Social Media in general.
I noticed something disturbing about myself just a few moments ago. I had a word from Scripture pop into my head about something relevant to what I was doing. And do you know what my immediate thought was? It wasn't, "Oh, I should do that. I should put that into practice. I should do what God's Word says." My immediate thought was, "That would make a good blog post." I know at first glance that doesn't seem like a problem. But it is. I was going to write a post about that particular idea, instead of putting it into practice right away. And I've found myself doing that more and more lately. And as a result, put a wall between my heart and God's. Because, unlike ourselves and unlike the people around us, we can't fool God. He knows when things aren't quite right, more so than we ourselves know.
So I've decided that for a while, I'm going to abstain from writing anything I'm learning on this blog or on any social media. It's going to stay between me and God for a while. He has some refining to do in my heart. I'll be back in a few months.

Paint me with Your purity,
That I'd attract Your majesty.
When others boast in fame and gold,
The purest place is where I'll go.
The purest place I will draw near.
Do what it takes to keep me here,
In the center of Your heart.
The purest place is where You are
It's not with masses, not with kings,
Not in these songs or offerings,
Not in this life or what it brings.
The purest place is is You my King.
The purest place I will draw near.
Do what it takes to keep me here,
In the center of Your heart.
The purest place is where You are
If there's such thing as too beautiful,
If there's such thing as too wonderful,
If there's such thing as too marvelous,
Jesus it's You, Jesus it's You.
The purest place I will draw near.
Do what it takes to keep me here,
In the center of Your heart.
The purest place is where You are.
The purest place is You my King.

Stronghold
Stronghold - A place that has been fortified so as to protect it against attackThe Lord is my light and my salvation-whom shall I fear?The Lord is the stronghold of my life-of whom shall I be afraid?Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear;Though war break out against me, even then I will be confident. Psalm 27:1,3Fortify means to protect against, and also to defend. God is not only a Shelter, but He is a Defender. Two things going on simultaneously. So while He is sheltering me, He is also fighting for me. Comforting truth in the midst of uncertainty.
Reject
There are few things that hurt worse, or leave a longer lasting impression on one's heart, than rejection, no matter what its form.
